Things just got ... different.

Today, the Pirate Party picked up 7.1% of the votes in the Swedish elections for the EU Parliament. This will net them at least one seat.

Yep, that's right. People like me are getting into politics. YHBW.

Yup. Do EU parliament reps have offices in Brussels?

I've heard of them before. I'm glad they're gaining political ground. I'm all for the reform (elimination?) of intellectual property concepts too.
